Summary/Abstract: This article examines Egon Bahr’s intellectual and political postwar evolution. At first, a genuine cold warrior, Bahr gradually embraced the ideea of Détente. The reasons for this change were multiple, ranging from the influence of other great German political men to the ever clearer limitations imposed on West-German foreign policy by a bipolar world. By adapting to the realities in which his country was forced to operate, Bahr was able to innovate and create a German version of Détente – Wandel durch Annäherung – which reconciled the acceptance of the postwar European map with the goal of reunification.
